Weekend doings - Mary & Simon plus WoW
Jan. 25th, 2009 09:49 pmThursday night I went to a talk on ebooks at the local Solo librarian group. It is an interesting question... what role do libraries have in a world where books are digital? The speaker didn't have an great plan for libraries but we had interesting discussions of rights and licensing and such. And proprietary formats and whether they will be readable in a few years. Also bad pizza. But I really value the group, it is nice to have colleagues to talk to things about.
Friday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sbisson and marypcb and spikeiowa had talked about having lunch but S&M found their schedule was too tight for that. I spent the day mostly in WoW and then shared a nice dinner with M&S at Kubota.
Saturday the Lunar Festival started in WoW and since Russell wasn't around to be a WoW widower, I threw myself into the game and travelled Azeroth far and wide visiting the Elders of Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms and Northrend, 59 in all.
Saturday wassaffronrose's birthday and she and Kurt, Lori, Arthur, me and S&M all went to the Lobster Shack in Redwood City and feasted on seafood. And then went back to their place for princess cake. Way more sugar than I'm used to... but yummy. I love marzipan!
Sunday I was supposed to have rehearsal but S&M head back for London Monday and I decided one last meal sounded fun. They stayed with us all week but I hardly saw them until the weekend. Spike & Tom, Mike and Karen, Simon, Mary & I repaired to Ming's and had dim sum. It was a great way to celebrate Chinese New Year. Happy Year of the Ox!
I spent most of the afternoon shopping and cooking lasagna for Tuesday dinner. When Russell got home we watched CSI and I worked on the Exu necklace I have been planning to make. I got about 1/3 of the way through and my hands are killing me. I think I am going to have to admit that I really cannot make necklaces anymore. I don't want to. I don't want my hands to hurt like this either. Wah!
